Is that enough, Is my iPhone 4 really safe!?!?

Would restoring my iPhone to factory settings be sufficient for removing any sensitive information, or would there be a way to retrieve them somehow,

I'm asking this because I am thinking of taking my iPhone to a small shop to have it unlocked,

Aside from my mail accounts, There are allot of sensitive information on it. Which I managed to back up by syncing to gmail.

As well as uploading stuff to my PC.

And so is that enough?

Thanks,

    Taking it to a licensed store should be more than enough to keep your data safe.

    In case you don't trust this guys anyway, you can restore the iPhone to it's factory settings and once you start it again you can double check for any leftovers such as cookies or cache.

    You can use Cydia app to do the job for you as well.

    Hope it helps
